I have a craving for Tom Yum recently so I decided to try Saap Saap Thai after yoga class.
I ordered the Beef Deluxe Tom Yum Soup Noodles (beef slices, brisket, tendon, beef balls, $10.90).
The beef slices were big and plentiful. The brisket and tendon were tender, although there were too many pieces of tendon. The noodles were done just right. My beef with this bowl of beef tom yum (pun intended), is the tom yum. It did not taste like tom yum, at least not tom yum from a Thai restaurant. Even the tom yum I make with soup base from the supermarket tastes more like tom yum than this. It is just spicy soup. No taste, no flavour, not just no tom yum flavour. It was such a let down considering my craving.
I can't decide whether to give this 2.5 or 3 Aunty Karens. The food is really a let down, nothing Thai or Tom Yum about it. Needless to say, I don't think I would be back here.
